[Plugin request] Deconz #677

Open akafester opened 1 year ago

As Deconz is a very capable Zigbee gateway, and have good support for a lot of devices, it would be a fine addition to Nymea.

For those on the fence of moving from X to Nymea but have all their devices in Deconz, this could be the way.

You can use all phoscon Zigbee adapters directly with nymea, without the need of setting up deconz first.

If you still want to use deconz for whatever reason, one option right now is to enable the Hue bridge emulation on deconz and then add it as a Hue bridge.

Yet another option would be to enable MQTT on deconz and then use nymea scripts to feed in data from deconz devices into nymea things.

That said, it would be possible to add a plugin that talks do deconz but that sure would need to be a community contribution.

I know that this is possible, but for those with an already built out network, and a lot of devices, it is quite cumbersome to re-add all those devices. Especially if it’s just for a test drive. And as have yet to have any success with pairing my Deconz instance with Nymea, i don’t know if all devices will be supported. Could it be possible to add a manual way to add a bridge? :)

Here’s hoping that someone with a good amount of knowledge can put a proper integration together.

And thanks for a quick reply.
